Travels of the Necromancer

Lan was expressionless, and broke away from my hand in a flash, and stood quietly beside Merkel.

"What a touching reunion, isn't it?" Merkel looked at me with a smile.

Hey, how impressive is it!I really wanted to rant, but Merkel's voice calmed me down.Lan knows the identity of my necromancer, and it is obvious that Merkel already knows it now.But as a remnant of the blue darkness, how could he get involved with the people of the temple?

Merkel seemed to see my doubts: "The great God of Light is tolerant and merciful, and will accept all those who are devoted to the light with a broad mind, even if they are former sinners. Although he has the blood of the dark elves, but Lan has accepted the baptism of light, and is no longer a survivor of darkness."

In other words, Lan has changed his belief?This surprised me a bit.As a necromancer without faith, I don't think it's a big deal to change your faith.But for people with pious beliefs, "going against God" is a heinous thing and will suffer the cruelest punishment.Although the dark remnants have been squeezed by the temple and have little living space, they will try their best to hunt down the "god-behind" whenever they have the opportunity.Moreover, even if the "betrayal" survives, the survivors will not be treated equally because of their origin and blood. "

"I offer all my property, all my loyalty, and my humble body to wash away the sins that the humble me has been stained by darkness..." I recalled the prayers I read in the book, and inadvertently whispered Read it out.It sounds noble, but it's actually a slave oath.Those who are unwilling to change their beliefs are turned into city walls like the residents of Skeleton City, and those who are willing to change their beliefs are reduced to slaves. No wonder the temple has to go west several times, which is really a good deal.

"Your Excellency remembers the baptism prayers of the Dark Remnants very clearly, but Your Excellency Kate Russell probably doesn't need such prayers."

Needless to say Kate doesn't need it, and I never "need it".

But I took a look at Lan, who stood there when I was talking to Merkel, still looking indifferent, as if we were not talking about him.It's really hard for me to imagine Lan kneeling in front of the altar and saying that kind of prayer. The pride of the dark elves is as famous as their viciousness.

"The topic is a bit far away, let's come back to discuss the entrustment issue."

"I don't seem to agree to accept this commission yet."

"Don't Chris want to continue traveling in the mainland?" Merkel asked me seemingly casually.

"I've been out long enough, it's time to go back." Threatening me?Hmph, I'm not a knight, if I can't fight, can't I still run? If I have the ability to catch up to the Dark Night Swamp!

"Neither you nor Ley seem to want to succeed the patriarch of the family."

"That's true." Hearing Merkel mention this matter, I became cautious.Ley and I finally selected Alice as the successor, and we have reached an agreement with Rhodes, Ceuta and the others.However, because Alice is a woman and not a direct descendant, even with Rhodes' ability, it is still difficult to settle the elders in the clan, so this decision is kept secret for the time being, and will be announced after they have made sufficient preparations.However, it is clear that this is no longer a secret to Merkel.

"The candidate you have identified is naturally very good, but I thought you would choose a successor who is more capable and can lead the family to a new height."

"Are you talking about yourself? Uh no, you should be talking about the real Merkel." I stared at the person in front of me, pointing out for the first time that he is not the real Merkel.He chuckled, but didn't deny it.

"I have to tell you that the patriarch the family needs is a member who truly loves the Roselle family and is willing to uphold the family's honor." This is the common thought of Ley, Rhodes and Ceuta. If , the same choice will be made.

"That's a regrettable result! However, if the person who led this matter is proved to be an evil necromancer who stole other people's bodies, this regrettable result should be invalidated?"

"Even so, it's not his turn to let outsiders pretend to be him, and let outsiders meddle in the family's internal affairs to take over!"

"Speaking of pretending to be an outsider, why would anyone fail to recognize the young master whom I grew up with? He must have colluded with the Necromancer long ago. Such a person should really be sent to the stake."

"I don't know what is the crime of embezzling the artifacts of the temple?"

"Hehe, who would believe the words of a necromancer?"

"Ha, how can an evil necromancer care about the lives of a few humans!"

There was almost no pause, Merkel stared at me, I stood up and looked at him without giving in, the atmosphere can only be described as tense and on the verge of firing.

However, at this time, Merkel suddenly looked away: "The tea seems to be cold, let me make another cup for you."

The tense atmosphere dissipated, but I still did not let my guard down, watching Merkel tinker with the tea caddy.It is a very peculiar way, just brew the roasted tea leaves with hot water, without adding sugar, milk or other spices.The tea brewed in this way has a light green color and a unique fragrance.I was still standing, but when I saw the tea leaves slowly unfolding in the teacup, I felt a little calmer.

"The King of Heroes only drank this kind of tea without any spices during his lifetime. I read his diary and couldn't help but try it. It really has a different flavor." Merkel picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued, "Why? So disgusted with my commission? This commission will not be more dangerous than the ones you have accepted before."

I don't hate commissions, I just hate you guys!So I said, "I'm afraid it's not just this one entrustment, there will be another entrustment one after another in the future. The guy who seizes others to blackmail, how can he be satisfied with just one extortion."

"So that's what you're worried about." Merkel put down her teacup with a smile, "I promise that only this time, we can make a magic contract, and the terms of the contract are up to you."

It was still very suspicious, but I thought about it for a moment, then pulled back the chair and sat down: "Please explain your commission."

"Entrusted location: Devil's Forest." Hearing this, I frowned, this bastard hasn't played enough with the devil yet, and ran to the Devil's Forest again.

"Entrustment content: assist in finding the treasure left by the hero king Roger." I continued to frown.The legend about the treasure of the King of Heroes has been circulating for hundreds of years, but few fools will believe it now. This guy actually... Wait, what did he say about the diary of the King of Heroes when he was making tea just now? What clue?

Facing my suspicious gaze, he continued calmly: "Client: Lucian."
